Went to the zoo, ended up doing some birding
Hey all,
I went to the Flushing Meadows Park Zoo, and I saw a good set of birds.
Those with * means that they were wild.
They had a nice aviary, and also a pond just like the one in the Bronx Zoo, with ducks that don't escape.
Mallard*
Canvasback
Ring-Necked Duck
Hooded Merganser
Barrow's Goldeneye
Common Goldeneye
White-Cheeked Pintail
Northern Pintail
Ruddy Duck
Snowy Owl
Monk Parakeet
Cattle Egret
Sandhill Crane
Ovenbird ----> I bet I was the only person who saw this one.
Eastern Phoebe*
Bald Eagle
Common Grackle*
Catbird
Cardinal ---> both wild and captive
